Calgary design agency — Design / Engineering / Security
Small team.
Serious software.
Workbence Agency is a Calgary design agency and software studio. No account layers, no junior benches — just senior engineers and designers who take your product from first sketch to production, and stay accountable for it.
Ten disciplines. One accountable team.
From UI/UX to engineering and security, this Alberta design agency covers the full product stack so Calgary teams do not have to stitch together four vendors.
AI & Machine Learning
Practical AI — LLM integrations, custom models, and intelligent automation that create measurable value, not demos.
Web Development
Fast, accessible, SEO-sound web applications with modern frameworks and zero legacy debt from day one.
Mobile App Development
Native and cross-platform apps for iOS and Android, designed and shipped to both stores.
Custom Software Development
Tailored platforms and internal tools engineered around your exact workflows — built to last, not to demo.
UI/UX Design
Research-driven product design that turns complex requirements into interfaces users understand at first glance.
Cloud & DevOps
Cloud architecture, migrations, and CI/CD pipelines that keep your product reliable and your costs predictable.
Data Engineering & Analytics
Pipelines, warehouses, and dashboards that turn scattered data into a single source of truth.
QA & Test Automation
Automated test suites, performance testing, and release quality gates so every deploy ships with confidence.
Cybersecurity & Penetration Testing
Offensive security assessments that identify vulnerabilities before attackers do — with clear remediation guidance and reporting that meets enterprise and compliance standards.
Tech Consulting & Strategy
Architecture reviews, technology audits, and roadmaps that de-risk decisions before a line of code is written.
Talent density beats headcount.
Most agencies scale by adding people. We scale by adding almost none. Workbence Agency is a Calgary design agency built on a simple conviction: a few exceptional engineers outperform a large average team — in speed, in quality, and in how much of your budget turns into working software.
There are no account managers between you and the people building your product. No work handed down to junior benches. Developers lead every engagement personally, write code, break things on purpose to make them safer, and answer for the result.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, we work with teams across the province and remotely across Canada. You get fewer people on your project — and more capability per person than teams five times our size.
Built for shipping, not slide decks.
Discover
We dig into your goals, users, and constraints. You get a clear scope, timeline, and estimate — no surprises later.
Design
Wireframes become polished, clickable prototypes. You see the product before a line of code is written.
Build
Weekly demos, transparent progress, production-quality code from day one. You are always in the loop.
Launch & Scale
We ship, monitor, and iterate. Post-launch support and a growth roadmap keep improving your product.
The people you'll actually work with.
Mert Kilan
Founder & CEO
Sets the vision and works hands-on with every client. Years of experience building products across AI, mobile, and enterprise software.
Mustafa Kemal Can
Senior Penetration Tester & Cybersecurity Expert
Has spent years helping businesses under KPMG identify and close critical security gaps. Leads our offensive security practice — penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and hardening for clients who can’t afford to get security wrong.
Patryk Kut
Software Engineer
Builds and ships production software across the stack — from clean, reliable backends to polished user interfaces. Brings engineering rigor to every project he touches.
That's the whole team — by design. When the work calls for extra hands, we bring in specialists from our trusted senior network, always led and reviewed by the team.
Trusted by teams who ship.
